Abstract
Statistical data for 15 years on emergency situations (ES), fires and accidents on water is provided, and normalized indicators
 are calculated. During 2000–2014, 8588 disasters were registered in Russia, which killed 14,826 and injured 5 million 841
 thousand people. There were 5097 (59,4%) man-made disasters, 2786 (32,4%) natural ESs, 587 (6,8%) biological and social
 ESs, and 118 (1,4%) major terrorist attacks. Local ESs count up to 4313 (50,2%), municipal — 2977 (34,7%), intermunicipal –
 1069 (12,5%), regional — 191 (2,2%), inter-regional — 23 (0,3%), Federal — 12 (0,1%). Every day (1,58 ± 0,15) emergency
 situations happened which caused death of (2,76 ± 0,25) people. The risk of being in ES (R1) in Russia amounted to (0,40
 ± 0,04) · 10–5, the risk of death in an ES was (1,82 ± 0,10) fatalities per year, individual risk of death in ES was (0,70 ± 0,06)
 0183 10–5 per year. There is a significant downward trend in these indicators. The lack of continuity of representing even
 basic ES indicators in State reports "On the state of protection of population and territory of the Russian Federation from
 emergencies of natural and man-made origin" prevents their comparison.
